Anime Name That Tune
Ever heard that memorable song or piece of music that just simply adds to your favorite anime? Think you can remember it if played right before you with prizes and pride at stake? Step up to the buzzer as we play the tunes as our song guessing game.

Anime Win, Lose, or Draw!
This game will be an informal, carnival like setting. Willing volunteers from the audience can attempt to draw their favorite Anime titles or characters. Oh yes! You will be judged by our zany crew who will try to guess what the scribbles are. Plain and simple, contestants will choose artistic topics from a previously arranged list of Anime favorites. The only clue our players will know is the subject (title, character, phrase, and so fourth). Contestants will have 60 seconds to bring their drawing to life. If the drawing is correctly matched with its title the artist will win a prize.
